2.2.10.5 Non-English translations of documents published in The Cochrane Library

The following template should be completed as far as possible before undertaking the translation of any document published in The Cochrane Library into a language other than English, so that it can be registered with The Cochrane Collaboration via John Wiley & Sons (dpentesc@wiley.co.uk). When the translation has been finished, the cover sheet should be revised if necessary. The cover sheet should also be made available with the translated document, in both the language of the translation and in English. There is a separate policy for the translation of abstracts of Cochrane reviews.

1.  What document (or part of a document) has been translated, and into what language?  Please include sufficient information to identify the version of the document that was translated.
2. How can someone obtain an English language version of the most up-to-date version of the official document?
3. Who is responsible for this translation (e.g. a Cochrane Centre)?  This person or entity should also be the point of contact for people who wish to report errors in the translation.
4. Who did the translation (i.e. a named person or group of people) and on what date did they complete it?
5. How was the quality of the translation checked?
6. What plans are there to ensure that the translation keeps up-to-date with changes to the official document?
